 This is how the Niqua factory describes them:
The antelope blue saw blades were developed well over 100 years ago and thus belong to the first generation of jewelry saw blades. They are the original fretwork blades for goldsmiths and jewelers. They are often referred to as metal saw blades because their special hardness, positive cutting angle and pronounced round back make them suitable not only for sawing gold and silver alloys, but also for sawing hard metals through to stainless steel. The saw blades are hardened blue and bound by the dozen with silver wire.
